Filming a James May TV shoot

  • Since we started filming with James May, Lucy has always wondered how a RUclips shoot compares to a TV shoot. When James told us he would be filming in London with his TV crew of 12 years, we just had to tag along.
    Check out James May's new gin:

      ​@@StreetPreacherr Looks like they used a 'light rain' editing filter on those shots, but that would have covered the whole frame. If you look at another shot from that location where it wasn't raining (8:38, for example), the water still looks disturbed (probably because of the wind), that disturbance along with the damp tables / chairs must have been enough to make the light raindrops filter look believable.

And it's great to see Lucy's continuing journey, gradually making connections with professionals on other tiers of the industry. Also with Lucy in front of the camera, now we're left wondering, who is behind the camera shooting her? We need behind the scenes of behind the scenes!

    Lucy, great BTS stuff, but I wanted to ask... was the last 1 minute if this video truly the final cut of the advert? `The quality was... questionable. 😅 Drive Tribe has better attention to detail.
